Arceuthobium sichuanense (weed) (H.S.Kiu) F.G.Hawksworth & Wiens, 1993

This mistletoe is found in Bhutan and parts of western China. It is parasitic on spruce (Picea) and can cause dieback, up to death of the host tree. Occasionally also pine trees (Pinus) may be infested (Ma et al., 2019). A. sichuanense has been originally described as a variety of Arceuthobium pini.
